Rating: M
Pairing: Scorpius/Rose
Chapter Seven
Two hours after the victory, the Slytherin Common Room was still full of loud, excited students. Scorpius was done celebrating and he was done waiting for his true prize, one Rose Weasley. He had been trying to escape the party for a good twenty minutes already and Albus had been talking his ear off the entire time … about strategy.
“Al, give it a rest. Go snog your girl.” Scorpius told him, patting him on the shoulder. He motioned over at Alice who was standing in the corner of the room with Rose, Penelope, and Ruby Macmillan, another seventh year, drinking Pumpkin Juice.
“Oh alright!” Albus grinned, “But we’re going to talk more about this tomorrow.” Scorpius rolled his eyes and practically pushed him towards Alice. He stared at the group of girls as Albus made his way to them, and smiled when he caught Rose’s eye. He motioned with his head towards the boys stairs and saw her lift her cup, as if she was telling them she needed to fill it.
Rose met him at the base of the stairs and stood next to him as she looked in at the crowd. “I’m done with this party.” He told her.
“I know. Me too.” He could smell her lavender shampoo and the smell made him need him even more than it ever had before after their stolen hours in the Prefects bathroom that weekend.
“Come up with me to get that book you wanted to borrow.” He wiggled his eyes at her and she snorted.
“If you think I’m going to walk up those stairs with you then you have lost your mind.”
“No one will notice.” He lied, knowing it was a lie. If they went up the stairs together the entire room would notice. The whole school would know before he was done ravishing her.
She glared at him. “Everyone will notice.”
“Oh fine. Then go back to your room and meet me.”
“Fine. I’ll see you in a few minutes.” Rose walked away from him, dumping her drink in a bin and walked out of the Common Room without even bothering to tell her friends she was leaving. Scorpius turned around and walked up the stairs two at a time.

Rose walked into her bedroom and took a deep breath. This was no big deal. They had fooled out around plenty of times before. Two days ago she had spent two hours in his arms with nothing but bathing suits on. His fingers had done delicious, naughty, wonderful things to her and he had made her feel things that she had never imagined. She had been dying for this moment for the past two hours, drudging her way through the party and chit chat with the Slytherin girls. They were nice and Rose sort of knew them from classes, but she just wanted to be alone with Scorpius, and now it was really here. It was really happening and she was really going to have to pay out for him winning their little bet and her heart wouldn’t stop trying to escape her chest. She whispered the password to the Head Girl in the portrait, not trusting her voice, and raced across the room to knock on the wall of Scorpius’ room.
The portrait swung open immediately. “Finally.” Scorpius told her, not bothering to disguise his annoyance.
“Do you know how long it takes to get to Ravenclaw tower from the Dungeons, Scorpius?” She frowned at him, resting a hand on her hip.
“Too long.” He pouted, and pulled her in so he could swing the portrait shut behind him. He had covered it with a charm again as he always did when she was in his room. They weren’t sure if this actually did anything, but it made them feel better to not have him watching them.
“I got here as fast as I could.”
“Anxious to pay out?” Scorpius pulled her into his arms and she let him. She wrapped her hands around his waist.
“Not anymore than you.” She retorted, and he smiled.
“Damn straight. I couldn’t wait to get you up here.” He told her honestly and his lips fell on her neck and began to lightly kiss her soft skin. She moaned quietly against him and he bit softly at the place he had just kissed. Rose leaned her head to the side to give him better access, loving the shivers he was sending down her spine.
“I love it when you moan for me.” He whispered and his breath tickled her neck. He moved one hand up her body and felt her over her clothes, enjoying the way she folded against him when he held her. It was perfect. She fit into him perfectly.
“I love it when you make me moan.” She teased with a small smile and he shook his head.
“Don’t make fun of me, Weasley.” He told her.
“What are you going to do about it, Malfoy?”
“Make you moan louder.” He whispered into her ear and she couldn’t help but let out a small satisfied sound. She surely hoped he was right. She wanted him to make her scream.
“I guess you should get to it.” She pulled away from him and walked over to his bed slowly, looking over her shoulder at him as she shook her hips.
“Are you trying to seduce me, Red?” He asked her as he slid his hands into his pockets and enjoyed the sight of her. Rose had reached the foot of his bed. He saw her smirk as she placed two hands on his blanket and moved them forward. As she bent down towards the bed, her bottom, in those perfect muggle jeans, was pushed back towards him.
“Is it working?” She asked in a soft voice, a small amount of insecurity lacing her words. She bent one knee up to climb on the bed and then the other. Her arse wiggled at him once she was on all fours on his bed.
“Gods, yes.” He told her, but he didn’t move. He did not want to interrupt this. Scorpius could not believe the beautiful sight before him and he didn’t care that his pants were suddenly incredibly tight and restrictive, he was going to let her have her fun before he claimed his prize.
“Good.” She turned on the bed to face him and sat up on her knees before him. She pulled one arm out of her jean jacket and then the other. Every movement was slow and deliberate. She licked her lips as she slid the fabric off her arms and avoided his eyes. Scorpius wanted to go rip the rest of her clothes off, but he stayed put and let his eyes undress her while he waited for her hands to actually do the job.
Next to go was her blouse. Rose painstakingly slipped each button through it’s small hole, loosening her top with a patience that Scorpius was quickly losing. She then put her arms behind her and shook her shoulders to shake the top off her arms. This caused her perfect, beautiful breasts to bounce and Scorpius to let out a small sound that he couldn’t quite hold back.
Those first two pieces were nothing compared to her tank top. It was not the methodical way that she lifted the top from her body that drove him crazy, but instead it was that first glimpse of dark green silk lined with silver. “You have got to be fucking kidding me.” He actually said out loud as she grinned.
“You like it?” She blushed and Scorpius nearly growled.
“That is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” The sexiest thing about the bra was that she had to have ordered it for him. Rowan was in Gryffindor and she was in Ravenclaw. The only Slytherin that had any busy near her bras was him.
“I hoped you would.” She told him and then she let her hands fall down from her shoulders, her fingers running down her breasts, down her stomach, and resting on the button of her trousers. She undid the snap and wiggled those amazing hips again as she slid her jeans down. The sight of her matching dark green knickers with a silver lace lining sent him over the edge. There was no more standing back waiting for her. He ripped buttons as he stalked across the room to his bed and by the time he was moving onto his bed he was topless and pushing his own trousers down. He threw them aside and then he pushed Rose down on his bed and pulled hers the rest of the way down. He kneeled over her for a single second, taking in the picture of her in his house colors and then he was lying over her, claiming her mouth as she rocked up into him.
He felt her nails on his back and he pushed his hard cock down against her beautiful knickers as she scratched him. “Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” He repeated against her mouth. “I want you.” He told her, his voice pained and she just pulled him closer, letting her tongue push past his lips and explore his mouth.
Rose pushed against him, moving him to his side and then onto his back. Scorpius didn’t care what she was doing or what she wanted as long as she kept bloody rubbing that incredible body on his. She was kissing him then, on his neck and then his shoulder, moving her lips softly along his body, her breath sending shivers down him this time. He felt her as she moved to his chest and she softly scratched him again with her nails as she licked at his abs. Then, her hands were on his underwear and she pushed them down, freeing his cock. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh as she slid the cloth down his legs.
She moved back up his body quickly and he reached down to pull her up faster, to claim her mouth again, but he felt something hot and wet on his tip and he froze. He looked down and saw Rose’s mouth wrapped around him and he moaned. She smiled and the brush of her lips moving against his skin felt like bloody heaven.
“Oh, Red, Oh, Fuck.” She slid slowly down his cock, pulling him into her mouth with her lips and he gripped her perfect red curls. She moved back up and he couldn’t believe how fucking sexy it was to watch his cock appear from her mouth. He decided in that moment he could watch that all damn day. She licked his tip before diving down again and then she was bobbing and he let go of her hair to let her have the control she so clearly already had. She was bloody fucking amazing.
Scorpius tried to hold out, but her surprise attack and the way she was using her tongue as she bounced up and down on him were killing him. He could feel his orgasm coming and he told her as much. “Shit. Rose. I’m going to come.” She ignored his warning and a minute later he had spilled into her mouth and she released him. “What the fuck was that?” He asked, not able to move quite yet to grab her.
“Didn’t you like it?” She asked and he realized she was actually worried.
“Rose, that was … incredible. I … surprised. I was not expecting that.”
“I know, I just … wanted to.” Scorpius did move then, pulling her up to him and kissing her, not caring that she tasted like him. She was amazing.
“Now you better stop messing around and let me take my winnings from our bet.” He teased her and he saw her smile nervously as he began to kiss her neck again. His hand moved around her back and he fought with her bra. She giggled as she waited patiently for him to finally unhook it and pull it off her arms. “You are just full of surprises today.” He told her, moving down to pull one nipple into his mouth and then the other. She sighed softly at the sensation, but he moved down her body, eager to reach his destination. His hands slid down her stomach as he kissed her skin and then he reached her knickers. He breathed over them as he had done before when he was dying to taste her, and now he was finally going to get to do it. He looped her green knickers with his fingers and pushed them down. She helped, pushing them down the rest of the way with her feet and Scorpius pulled her legs apart.
She watched his head moved between her legs and she hissed as his tongue moved between her lips. She gripped the sheets as he slid it up her slit, tasting her. She couldn’t believe how incredible it felt to have him down there, his tongue licking her most private parts. She didn’t even want to stop him, she just wanted to feel him lick her again and again.
Scorpius moved his tongue up, finding that sensitive nub that he usually reserved for his thumb and he flicked his tongue in a small swirl around it. Rose moaned and arched into him, unable to resist her body’s need to be closer to him. “Scor …” She groaned and he moved one hand from her thigh and slid a finger inside of her as he flicked his tongue again. She felt him moving against her, two fingers sliding inside of her over and over as his tongue moved against her clit and drove her crazy. She couldn’t think straight and she couldn’t stop rocking her hips against him. She wanted to say something or make her body stop acting ridiculous or know what in the world Scorpius was thinking, but all she could think about was his stupid tongue and his magical fingers. At some point, he swapped them. His thumb found its favorite place on her body and his tongue buried deep inside of her sliding in and out, making her crazy. She screamed then, feeling her body tense, feeling her mind lose all sense for a few moments as passion rocked through her starting at that tongue and moving in waves across her body. She fell back on the bed and when Scorpius moved up to her she snogged him hard.
“What did you think?” He asked after he covered them with a blanket.
“Bloody amazing.” She sighed and let him wrap his arms around her.
“I told you.”
“You can totally do that again.” She told him, moving her arm across his chest.
“Good.” He pulled her in closer and she laid her head next to his on his pillow. Scorpius kissed her forehead and she sighed contentedly against him.

Scorpius woke up with someone very naked beside him. He opened his eyes slowly and it took him about three seconds to realize it was Rose and they had fallen asleep together and she was still asleep and he was completely naked as well. She was wrapped against him, her body feeling amazing against his, the blanket keeping them both warm. Her bright red hair was dancing behind her and sticking every which way, completely crazy from their fun and then sleep.
He couldn't believe how much he liked having her sleeping in his arms. He tried to pretend that it was because she was naked, but he knew even if she had been fully clothed he would love having her close, her body close enough to smell lavender. Even after he admitted it to himself, he didn't know what it meant. He didn't have feelings for her, he knew that, but this … this seemed so much more intimate than whatever this had started as.
He thought forward to the end of the year and he couldn't imagine not having her anymore. Not tasting that heaven between her legs and not hearing her soft moans when he touched her. He had never expected them to move so fast. Sure he loved her skin against his and the way she writhed against him, but he'd expected her to be the voice of reason, to control their urges in the moment, but she was just as bad as him. When she had stripped for him and he had pressed against her with only the silk of her knickers and the cotton of his own to keep him from sliding into her, he had almost gone crazy and she hadn't protested at all. He wondered if she would have let him move the fabric aside and take her if he'd asked. He knew he wouldn't, knew that barrier was one he couldn't cross, but fuck did he think about it all the time.
He couldn't believe that Rowan Wood, Gryffindor git of the century had been inside of her, moved in her tight walls, and then ruined it all for some slags who liked his Quidditch skills. Scorpius would kill to have Rose ask him to fuck her, to have her let those damn guards down and say to hell with the rules, but the truth was deep down he knew she was still broken and she thought the rules somehow kept her safe from him breaking her more. And then there was the issue of the way she felt in his arms and the content feeling that he had from waking with her in them.
She stirred against him as he thought about her and he leaned down and kissed her nose. Rose opened her eyes and she took in the sight of him watching her. She looked around him at his room and pulled back slightly. “Did we fall asleep?” She asked and he nodded. “Oh.”
“Yea.” He didn't really know what to say because he had no idea how he felt about it or how she felt about it.
“I guess …” She looked at the floor where their clothes were. “I should go.” She looked back at him and he shrugged.
“You could stay.” He told her.
She looked at the clock on his bedside. “We missed dinner.”
“Yea. I can go get us something in the library.” He offered.
She looked at him again and she just stared. “Uhh…”
“Are you okay?” He asked and she ran a hand through that crazy hair.
“I don't know.”
“Okay, What's wrong?”
“I don't know … we've never …”
“It doesn't mean anything. We just fell asleep.” He told her, seeing her mind moving a thousand miles a minute and knowing that she would run like crazy if she thought they were moving into a territory more like what she had once had with Rowan.
“Yea, I know.” Rose told him, but he saw her visibly relax back into the sheets.
“Food?” He asked and she nodded. Scorpius climbed out of bed and moved over to his dresser. He pulled on shorts and a t-shirt and moved into the library.
While Scorpius was gone, Rose ruffled through his dresser and stole a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for herself. She was not going to be the only naked one. A few minutes later, Scorpius came back with a tray of food and drinks and set it on the bed.
“I wonder how much trouble I'm in with Alice.” Rose asked after she shoved a biscuit into her mouth.
“What do you mean?”
“She doesn't like that we’re doing this. She thinks I'm going to end up hurt.”
“So she wants us to stop?”
“Or do it for real.” Rose rolled her eyes.
“The horror.” Scorpius joked, eating some grapes.
“I like this.” Rose told him and he nodded.
“I like you in my clothes.” He told her and she laughed.
“Going to give me your jersey for the next match?” She asked and he snorted.
“I'll catch the Quaffle for you and give it to you after the game.”
“Sound magical.” She snorted and they both laughed hard.
“We are terrible friends.” He told her.
“The worst.”
“They are annoying though.”
“Can't stand them.” Rose told him with a smile. “Alice told me that they want to move in together after graduation.”
“What?” Scorpius looked surprised.
“I know.”
“Gods we're going to be at their wedding within the year. Babies in two. Fuck my life.”
“I'm glad we’re on the same page because I kind of wanted to throw up a little in my mouth.” Rose shook her head and thought about how badly she had wanted those things to fit with her and Rowan. She didn't feel like that needed to be her plan anymore. She didn't know what it was, but babies and marriage, and living with someone right out of school didn't seem to make sense anymore.

The next week, Alice was livid with Rose. She had checked for her multiple times Sunday after she had disappeared from the Slytherin party without a word. Alice had even checked for her one last time before she went to bed and Rose wasn't there. She had then complained to Albus who had been angry with Scorpius for messing around with Rose still and because he had to listen to Alice complain about it. Rose and Scorpius both ignored them, because frankly it wasn't any of their business. Alice insisted it was their business to tell them when they were being idiots because they were their best friends.
Rose spent as much time as possible in the library studying that week, but she still had to attend classes and Quidditch Practice. She and Scorpius did their rounds each night and she still snogged him whenever they had the chance. They spent their long break that Friday locked in Scorpius’ room again and she didn’t even care that it would probably make Alice even more ridiculous.
It was two weeks after the Slytherin victory that Rose heard the knock on her door that changed things back to the way they were before. She was writing her father a letter. They had been going back and forth all week about her game against Hufflepuff the next day and she wanted to get him one last letter before the match. Her dad loved that she had her mum’s brains, but Rose knew that this was his favorite thing to write with her about. He was proud of her academic achievements, but when Ravenclaw had won the cup last year, her dad had come to watch the match and she was pretty sure he had never been prouder of her. She loved that they had something they could bond over, something that her mum didn’t really understand or want to understand.
“Rose?” Alice’s voice came softly from the other side of her bedroom door and Rose set her quill down on her desk. She didn’t want to fight with Alice right now but she was her best friend besides Al and she couldn’t let this go on forever. She pushed her chair back from her desk and walked over to open the door.
When she opened it, Alice was standing in front of her biting her nails. They stood there for a few minutes, neither one of them really saying anything and then Alice spoke. “Can I come in,” she asked and Rose opened the door wider. Alice walked past her and into the room. Rose shut the door and followed her to sit on her bed. “You left practice pretty quick this morning.”
“Yea, well … I haven’t been wanting to get lectured.” Rose stared at the floor and didn’t meet Alice’s eyes.
“I … I’m sorry.” Alice reached over and grabbed Rose’s hand and squeezed it softly. “I just … it was a lot to process. Everything you told me about Rowan and now Scorpius. It seems so fast to be going from being with Rowan to this thing you have with Scorpius and you two just seem to be going so ... fast. I just … I just want you to be okay.”
“It wasn’t fast Alice. I told you everything. I told you.”
“I guess it’s just hard to believe. How ... you were with Rowan all that time.”
“I know and I thought … we were it, but … honestly if that’s true why did I smell Scorpius in the Amorentia? Why couldn’t I stop thinking about him?”
“Then how is that just messing around?”
“Because that’s all I have to give right now, and that’s all he wants.”
“And what if that changes? What if one of you wants more?”
“Then it’s over. We stop and we don’t look back.”
“Do you really think you can do that?”
“I’ll figure it out when the time comes, but Alice, and I know you are just trying to keep being a good friend, but I need you to stop acting like you're my mum. I could cast some stones at you and Al but it isn’t my job to police your relationship. It’s one thing if I ask your advice, but right now I don’t want it.”
Alice looked hurt and Rose knew that what she had said had been abrupt, but she couldn’t keep having this conversation with Alice over and over. She was going to keep messing around with Scorpius and not dating him and she didn’t really care what Alice or Albus thought about it.
That sat there in silence for a few minutes and then Alice finally spoke. “Okay.” She nodded. “I’ll keep my mouth shut about it. I’ll let you make your own choices unless you ask for my advice.”
“I love you. You and Al are my best friends.”
“I know.” Alice rested her head on Rose’s shoulder. “You’re my best friend too.”

The next day the Ravenclaw team destroyed the Hufflepuff team in their Quidditch Game. The final score was 240 - 0. After the party in Ravenclaw tower had died down and Rose had made her way to Scorpius’ room, she was very quick to rub it in his face that she had not let the Snitch nearly being caught or his presence in the stands distract her into letting a goal by. He had thrown her down on his bed and not let her taunts ruin their delicious celebration of her victory.
On Monday, the school woke up to a notification that a Hogsmeade weekend had been scheduled in two weeks for the first weekend in December. “Are you going to go with Al again?” Rose asked Alice as they walked to Charms that morning.
“I don’t know. I really had fun last time. Maybe the four of us could go again. Or at least meet up?” Rose suspected Alice was trying to make a double date of the day, but she let it go. She did not want to ruin their newly re-established calm.
“That sounds like fun. We’ll have to ask Poppy and Tamsyn what they are going to do.”
“Tamsyn is going with George again for sure. I’ll check with Poppy.”
“She and Aaron snuck out of the Common Room during the party yesterday.” Rose told her. “I’m pretty sure they are still very on.”
“Then it’s settled.” Alice smiled and Rose tried to force a smile. She would have to make it very clear to Scorpius that she was not the one who had suggested they tag on to Alice and Albus’ date.
She didn’t have the chance to talk to Scorpius about it until before rounds that night. After Lunch he had not come to the library and then they had Ancient Runes and Dinner, followed by Rose’s Quidditch Practice. When she got back to her room from practice she had stripped down and showered, trying to urge some warmth back into her frozen body. The snow and bitter cold had arrived and they would continue to practice through it until break.
She pulled on jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a sweater before making her way to the library to meet Scorpius. He was hunched over an essay when she arrived, sucking at the end of his quill, presumably thinking about what to write next. He looked up at her when she entered and pointed to the kitchen.
“There's cocoa.” She noticed the steaming cup beside him and went over to pour her own.
“Did you hear about our plans?” She asked him as she moved.
“Ah, would those be Alice’s plans to get us on a date?”
“Those would be the ones.” She lifted her cup from the bar and walked with it to her blue chair in front of the fire.
“Then yes. Al told me after dinner.” He picked up his own cup and joined her.Rose curled up in the chair. “I guess this is what I get for telling her she needs to keep her mouth shut. She’s going to find backdoor ways of trying to make us get together.”
“How will we resist falling in love when there is butterbeer and chocolate frogs in our lives?” Scorpius teased and Rose smiled.
“I think we will just have to fight our way through.”
“I would much rather deal with Alice trying to set us up than Albus ragging on me every day because she’s driving him crazy.”
“This IS much better than the alternative.” She took a sip of her cocoa and warmth spread down through her body. “Merlin this is delicious.”
“My mum taught me how to make it.”
“You made this?” She raised an eyebrow at him. “I figured the house elves…”
“I can do some things for myself, you know. Sometimes I even put on my shoes and tie them like a big boy.”
“Oh shut up! I wasn’t saying that. It’s good cocoa.”
“Oh, yes you were, but I can accept that you are prejudiced against my family.” He gave an exaggerated sigh and Rose shook her head.
“You’re a prat.”
“Well, you're the one going on a forced double date with me … so what does that make you?”
“I don’t think that makes me anything.” She laughed at him.
“Yea, probably doesn’t.” He shrugged and took a drink.

That Friday, Scorpius asked Rose to help him with the new spell they had been practicing in Transfiguration. It was a modification spell that allowed the caster to change small things about their appearance for short periods of time. So far, he had not been successful and the results had been … painful to say the least. Rose however had been able to make her ears point at the ends, have her hair fall straight instead of curling out around her, and elongated her nose, all without any side effects.
She began by holding his arm as she led him in making the correct movement, and then had him do it alone as she watched. “You’re moving your whole body, Scorpius. Stand still. Just move your arm.” He tried again and she nodded. “Good.” She handed him his wand and he did it again with it in hand. “Keep your fingers still.”
“Gods, why does everything have to be just so for this bloody subject?”
“Oh and Potions is so different?” She asked, a hand on her hip. “Why is it that if I don’t use your advice and brew my potions how the book would have me do it then they never turn out quite right?”
“That’s not the same at all. This is a spell. It should be easy.”
“It’s a N.E.W.T level spell that most witches and wizards never master.”
“Ugh.” He lifted his arm again, holding his hand firm, moved his arm in towards his body and then rolled it over as he moved it straight out from his body until his arm was perpendicular. He then moved it back towards his body and touched his nose. “Adolesco.” He said strongly and his nose grew, pushing back on his wand.
“Perfect.” Rose told him. “Did it hurt?”
“No, it tickles.”
“That’s normal. It will go away after it wears off.”
“Great. I’ll wait for that to happen before I try anything else, I think.” He told her as he prodded his nose with his finger.
“Good plan.” She told him and took her seat at the large table.
“So … is this what you're going to do after N.E.W.Ts?” He moved into his seat across from her.
“What do you mean?”
“Travel the world teaching fellow witches and wizards how to do Transfiguration spells properly?”
“Oh … no.” She laughed. “I don’t think so.”
“Well what is it then?”
“What is what?”
“The great Rose Weasley plan.”
“The great Rose Weasley plan?” She asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
“Please Rose. You have to have had your career planned out from the day you started here. What is it you want to do after all of this is over?”
“Oh …” She looked down at her Charms essay, which was nearly complete. She wished that Albus and Alice would show up again and distract Scorpius away from this question, but they did not. “I … well, I don’t know.”
“What?” Scorpius wasn’t mean or rude about it. He sounded genuinely surprised. “Have you applied for anything?”
“No.” She told him, shaking her head.
“Oh.”
“Sorry to disappoint.” She tried to joke.
“Rose … I’m just surprised.”
“Yea.” She huffed. “I suspect most people will be. Can you imagine what they will write about me in those awful papers? DAUGHTER OF AMAZING WORLD SAVIORS RON AND HERMIONE WEASLEY IS UNEMPLOYED AFTER RECEIVING A MILLION N.E.W.T.S BECAUSE SHE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL SHE WANTS TO DO WITH HER LIFE.” Rose buried her head in her hands in shame. “Merlin aren't I a joke?” She looked back up at him to see him staring at her with an odd expression she didn't really understand.
“No one would write that about you.”
“Are you kidding?” Rose laughed. “My parent have had four offers to pay them for the exclusive on where my first job is going to be.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously.” She pushed her essay away, disgusted by herself, by the world she lived in, and by the work she still needed to do.
“That's sick.”
“That's being a child of the Golden Trio.” She forced a fake smile and he frowned at her.
“Well, what do you want to do?”
“If it was that easy don't you think I would be doing it?”
“No,” He put his hand out as if to stop her. “What do you want your life to be like, after all of this.” He waved to the books between them. “Is this what you want? Books and research?”
“Oh, Bloody Hell!” She exclaimed and laughed. “No way. I want …” She thought about it for a few minutes and Scorpius sat silently across from her. “I want to do something exciting. I want to put the books away for awhile, maybe see some of the world. I want to make my own name and not be Hermione Granger’s daughter for once in my life.”
“Well …” Scorpius thought about it. “You could do a lot of things that would give you that, but … well … Rose, I think you would be a really good Auror.”
“What?” She laughed again at his suggestion and he raised his hands.
“Hear me out! You have all the subjects for it and you are bloody amazing at them, but especially Defense and Transfiguration. You are amazing with your wand. You pick up new spells quicker than anyone else. You see me do a spell wrong once, maybe twice and you can correct me, but you also have a knack for wordless and wandless magic that I've never seen before. You are quick and light on your feet. You handle stress and pressure better than most adult wizards I know. You have a desire to be in a field that is meaningful and will allow you to shine in a way that won't be a reflection of your mother, whom everyone has always compared you to. You …”
“I get it!” Rose cut in, stopping his reasons. “I get it, but my father was an Auror and so is my Uncle. He's the head of the department.”
“So?”
“So, people would think I only got in because of that.”
“People are going to think that regardless of what you do or where you go, but you will prove them wrong.”
“Oh, will I?”
